Hi Skip,

Please check the PSD file that you generated on your desktop machine
in Photoshop. In case you don't have access to Photoshop: you can 
download a free trial version from adobe.

The PSD-file format is quite complicated, and it may be that the file
is accepted by Photoshop but not by Corel, eg if Corel only reads
Photoshop 2.5 files.
